Reframe Springfield Podcast

AFFIRM at the Aspen Institute works to prevent firearm-related injuries by viewing the issue through a health lens. As many already know, AAI educates, engages, and ultimately empowers communities through our flagship program, "Reframe."

Reframe does just that - it "reframes" the circular and unproductive conversation surrounding firearm injury, like the default gun control versus gun rights debate. Instead, we focus on bringing and translating medical expertise to communities in need through stories shared by individuals impacted by a firearm-related injury. Then, we create custom education based on the narratives shared and address the needs and prevalent type(s) of firearm-related violence facing that community (suicide, homicide, accidental injury, etc.)

We're working with the Missouri Foundation for Health on a grant-funded project in Springfield, MO, examining suicide and partnering with Jordan Valley, Cox Health, and Mercy Hospital. In addition, we recently launched a podcast to document the work that we've done. New episodes will be available here, so bookmark this page - or listen on Amazon, Audible, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.
